If you’re a gamer, there’s no doubt you’d be familiar with the following logo:

And even if you’re not, most of us would know that the logo belongs to tech giant Razer.
So while some of us might own their top-notch (but pricey) products, one has to wonder what it would be like to work for them.

Well, that may be more than just a thought soon enough.
Razer Engaging 1,000 People in S’pore as New HQ Set to Open in Second Quarter of 2021
On the morning of 1 Feb, Razer’s CEO Tan Min-Liang made a post on LinkedIn.
In it, he talked about hiring roughly 1000 positions in Singapore for their new Southeast Asia HQ.
However, it is currently not known the exact positions are, or whether they were full or part-time.
The timeline for hiring is also unknown but hey, it’s never to early to start cleaning up your resumes.
Currently, Razer has around 48 job openings, with quite a number of them looking to hire locally.
These range from engineering positions, marketing and even one for a global esports director.
The New HQ
Originally, the new HQ was meant to be opened sometime in 2020.

However, due to COVID-19 last year, we can only guess that it was the reason for the delay.
But that didn’t stop them, since the new building will be opened sometime this year in the second quarter at One-North.
In the LinkedIn post, Tan also proudly displayed the Razer logo atop the office building, which he also shared on his Facebook Page.
The building’s exterior will allegedly show the company’s Chroma lighting technology.

Meanwhile, their current office is located at Chai Chee industrial estate.
Razer’s Ups and Downs of 2020
And while the new HQ might’ve been delayed till this year, Razer has seen great financial success over the last year.
Despite the pandemic, they had a revenue of US$447.5 million (S$610 million) in the first half of last year.
Around 85.5 per cent of that came from revenue from peripherals.
Razer Gold (virtual credit services) and Razer Fintech (digital payment) earned US$64 million (S$87 million) which contributed to 14.3 per cent of its total revenue.

Which, honestly, is pretty darn impressive.
That’s not to say the whole year was smooth though.
Around 18 Aug 2020, security researcher Volodymyr Diachenko discovered that customer data on Razer’s website was made publicly available.
Due to a server miscommunication, around 100,000 customers data got exposed.
He then noted the data leak incident in a LinkedIn post.
Razer eventually responded to the post, and as of 9 Sept 2020, had fixed the server.
